Nov 2023 'Act Natural'

This may have been our strongest line up yet. Second Home Studios gave their first public screening of Channel 5's Tweedy & Fluff. Hey Duggee designer Ross Phillips shared his work, and got us addicted to the rush of his specially made 'Stick'. We finished with an electronic AV set built from nature samples by Wildforms & Guri Bosh.

Louis also dressed as a sort of privet Bob Ross.

Our special guest was Oscar and BAFTA winning Peter Baynton. We chatted through his career leading up to becoming an Oscar winning director, as well as getting a meaty behind the scenes on adapting The Boy, The Mole, The Fox & The Horse for animation.

August 2023 'I Felt That'

We had a programme rammed with great animation. Louis was dressed a giant felt Overlap eyeball. Max tore off Louis' face. And we were joined by Oscar-nominated CalArts alumni, Siqi Song.

Siqi's films are packed with feeling, humour, and a lot of felt. As well as winning plenty of awards, they have screened at the likes of Sundance, SXSW, Annecy and Ottawa.

We also got to see preview of Room To Read, a collaboration from Siqi and our very own Second Home Studios.

May 2023 'TopFlow'

We had an All-Star, Topflow, Flatpack Festival Special, and we were nearly at capacity with over 250 people in the room. Was Louis dressed as a shiny volcano? As a prawn? Was is 'Topflow'?

The film programme was rammed with inspiring work, with guests coming from Edinburgh, London and Poland! Congratulations to Amber Iles for winning a print from Will for her Topflow submission.

A LOT had happened since our special guests Will Anderson and Ainslie Henderson were last at Overlap 3.5 years ago . We saw how Ainslie’s early tests turned into over a year animating outdoors for his BFI funded short, Shackle. Fresh from speaking at Pictoplasma, Will showed how obsessively deep he has got into Blender.

And if one Overlap wasn't enough, the following day we had a Q&A screening of Will and Ainslie feature documentary, A Cat Called Dom.
